Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

American scientists have developed a new filter 18.02.2012

A team of American scientists, with funding from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), is developing a new circular polarization optical filter. The unique filter will allow you to see clearly through clouds of dust and clouds, in addition, it can help in medical diagnosis and the creation of unique optical instruments.

Polarization is a phenomenon in which light rays have different properties in different directions. When light reflects off a surface, such as window glass, it is polarized parallel to the reflective surface.

As a result, we see a glare that makes it difficult to see what is behind the glass. The human eye is able to distinguish colors, but cannot see the inherently different polarizations of light emanating from an object. Polarizing filters absorb polarized light, reduce glare, and as a result allow you to see even through a brightly lit window.

It is easier to understand the operation of the new circular polarization filter using the example of a simple digital camera. Digital cameras take color pictures using tiny filters that produce a full-color image on a pixel consisting of 3-4 dots that capture individual colors. The new light filter captures linear and circular polarization of light in the same way. Similar polarizing filters that cut off glare are used by snipers or photographers. The new filter will make it possible to create a polarizing digital camera that will be able to filter out a variety of stray illumination or view in a range that is not occupied by optical interference.

Linear polarizers are made quite simply, but there has been a problem with circular polarizers so far. However, American scientists have managed to develop a microstructure capable of accurately measuring polarized light. This makes it possible to create a color polarizing camera that will allow you to see through dust, clouds and other obstacles through which light polarized in a certain way passes.

In addition, the new filter can be used to study, for example, DNA helices and detect various tissue abnormalities, such as cancer.
